Declaration of Independence, list of grievances.. please help!?
The 27 grievances can be broken down into distinct categories. The first 12 relate directly to tyrannical authority and the need for representative government. Grievances 13 through 22 directly relate to the King's attempt to ignore or destroy the right of free men to rule themselves, or create their own laws. Grievances 23-27 focused on the actions the King took to abandon the colonies and wage actual war against them. You are citing Grievance #27 - The King tried to weaken the colonies by causing rebellions inside the colonies through violence and military actions... some done by mercenaries and other acts done by sending British soldiers to treat with the Indians and convincing them to wage war from the frontier and french owned areas. Basically, he was using a 2-pronged approach of civil unrest AND outside attacks (but not by British forces). The king wanted the colonies to feel the NEED to be protected by British rule.

Well, the document is easily found on-line. There is even a place where you can sign it! So, since I do not want to do anyone’s homework for them, I will let you discover this fairly easy to read, masterful piece of writing. ONce having read it, you will appreciate it. Recall it was written by a small committee in the early 1770’s. Can you imagine something like this coming out of anywhere, today?If you were to read it, most of your questions are answered easily. Heck, I think even Wikipedia may have something.The list is pretty much self explanatory.The WHY, well….The 13 Colonies had a lot of beefs or bones to pick with Jolly Old England. King George the 3rd was a little crazy. Neither George or the Brit Parliament listened to, or cared about the problems the Colonies had. They of course, would not give them the vote, because they were not crazy. They KNEW, that if the Colonists had the vote, they would soon (sooner of later) outnumber the homeland Brits.Since the document was not properly responded to, well, there started more actions, and eventually the Revolutionary War.
Why did Jefferson list so many grievances in the Declaration of Independence? What's it's use?
Jefferson wanted reasonable Americans to see that there were many good reasons for America to break free of England. At the time, many Americans were still thinking of themselves as English. Jefferson's document helped change many minds.
What does the 6th grievance in the declaration of independence mean?
The general indictment clause does not count as one. I'll assume you don't know and so I'll explain five and six: (5), Royal Governors often dissolved colonial assemblies for disobeying their orders or for passing resolutions against the law. (6), After dissolving colonial legislatures, royal governors sometimes took a long time before allowing new assemblies to be elected. I hope one of these covers your question.
